“What are you standing there looking at?” He shoves his cell phone in his pant pocket.Įxcerpt The Librarian’s Vampire Assistant Maybe he recognizes me, though that isn’t likely.Ībruptly, the moment shatters, and his expression shifts to a nasty scowl like he’s caught himself doing something he shouldn’t. Surprisingly, he seems equally mesmerized, because he’s just standing there with an odd expression. Our gazes lock, and it’s then that I notice his unusual light gray eyes. He vibes ex-Marine or some other tough-guy type profession. And while he’s wearing a sleek black suit and burgundy-colored tie, there’s something about him-perhaps the way he’s standing with a ramrod straight back and a noticeable bulk in his arms-that tells me he is not a fine-suit man. The hard planes of his cheekbones give his gorgeous face a European elegance, but his unshaven jaw gives off the air of a rugged mountain man. I’m standing smack in the center of his office when the silhouette of a tall man fills the doorway.
